Feel good you supported Horizon UU and meet new folks

Fiasco Details: Items will be available at fixed prices and on a first come, first serve basis; so come early or have friends sign you up! The offering form can also be found on the Horizon UU website under: DONATE > Service Auctions > then look for 2nd “here” link. We have tried to simplify FIASCO and cut expenses, so there isn’t a party this year… just board sign-up opportunities where you can pay for your purchases on the spot with cash, check, or credit card.

“You are good when you strive to give of yourself.” - Kahlil Gibran

Each fall at Gala, Horizon members get together for our annual party! Members donate items, events, services, and classes that are then put into a silent auction and marketplace. A few good examples include use of members’ vacation homes, a private dinner in a home or special restaurant, a bridge party, hand-made jewelry and even Spanish lessons. There is always entertainment, refreshments and lots of fun!!!

Events are the most popular auction items. Horizon members use them to fill their social calendars with activities with Horizon friends. During the first half of the year we hold FIASCO on a Sunday morning or two. Events are sold for fixed prices and fill-up fast. Attend service that day and then look for the big board and sign-up for some fun. Check the church calendar for FIASCO dates.

Inspired to create an event of your own? It’s never too early to donate. You can find our on-line donation form for both Gala and FIASCO here.

Here are a few "best practices" guidelines for promoting your donation.

·Don’t leave the date “to-be-determined.” People are reluctant to bid without being sure of the date. For a dinner or an outing, pick a specific date if at all possible, with a backup rain date if outdoors.

·Don’t be bashful in describing your offering. Advertising works!

The following are some examples of past write-ups:

o"Experience the ultimate Middle Eastern Feast. First a Turkish Dinner, and then a Belly Dancing show and private lessons with two professional belly dancers."
